What is the battery model of the Elantra?

The battery model of the Elantra is 55D23L. Below is some relevant information about car batteries: 1. The lifespan of a battery is generally over 2 years. If the battery runs out of power, it is recommended to first measure the battery voltage. If using a multimeter, measure the battery voltage when starting the engine. You can first use a high-frequency discharge meter or a battery tester to measure, ensuring that under a load current of no less than 110 amps, the minimum voltage should not be lower than 9.6 volts and should remain stable within 5 seconds. 2. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts but can remain stable within 5 seconds, it indicates over-discharge and should be recharged promptly. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts and cannot remain stable within 5 seconds, dropping rapidly to 0 volts or close to 0 volts, it suggests that the battery may be faulty and might need replacement.
The Elantra I drive is the 2020 model, and the battery model is usually 55D23L, representing a 12-volt 60Ah capacity. This standard configuration can meet daily starting needs without causing power loss. Finding the model is easy—just open the hood and check the yellow label on the battery, which clearly displays the model and parameters. If you have the manual handy, you can also find a list in the maintenance section. I personally check the voltage once a month with a multimeter to ensure it stays around 12.6 volts. Proper maintenance can extend the battery life up to 4 years, giving you peace of mind while driving. In summer, high temperatures accelerate battery aging, so clean the terminals to prevent corrosion. Before winter, adding some distilled water can help avoid power loss. When replacing the battery, avoid smaller-capacity models—size matching is crucial, as it can affect starting speed or even damage the circuit. Opt for reliable brands like Varta or ACDelco for quality and peace of mind while saving money.
